Comment Re:Ice Cream is not heavily processed (Score 1) 272
Cream and eggs are heavily processed foods, heavily processed by nature to have unusually high caloric density for specialized one-off purposes: raising young. Adults are not designed to consume cream and eggs in regular quantities. Also, refined sugar is heavily processed.
By 'heavily processed' the correlation implies the amount of work (calories) your body has to expend to extract nutrition and net calories from the food per unit volume (satiety in the belly.) Think raw wheat, raw fruits and raw vegetables vs refined flour or refined sugar. Our bodies evolved over 100K years to metabolize the former, not the latter.
I like ice cream as much as the next person but don't pretend humans were designed to consume it.
